Subject: [PATCH 0/7] powerpc: Modernize unhandled signals message

Hi, everyone.

This series was inspired by the need to modernize and display more
informative messages about unhandled signals.

The "unhandled signal NN" is not very informative.  We thought it would
be helpful adding a human-readable message describing what the signal
number means, printing the VMA address, and dumping the instructions.

We can add more informative messages, like informing what each code of a
SIGSEGV signal means.  We are open to suggestions.

I have collected some early feedback from Michael Ellerman about this
series and would love to hear more feedback from you all.

Before this series:

    Jul 24 13:01:07 localhost kernel: pandafault[5989]: unhandled signal 11 at 00000000100007d0 nip 000000001000061c lr 00003fff85a75100 code 2

After this series:

    Jul 24 13:08:01 localhost kernel: pandafault[10758]: segfault (11) at 00000000100007d0 nip 000000001000061c lr 00007fffabc85100 code 2 in pandafault[10000000+10000]
